Readers of the Los Angeles Times Sports section give their opinions and thoughts about Luka Doncic, Bill Plaschke, the Dodgers and the college transfer portal.

Luka Doncic’s best games are half virtuoso musical performance and half vicious shark attack. The Slovenian guard knows every trick in the book, gets increasingly bloodthirsty once he has seized the advantage and has an insatiable appetite for eviscerating opponents and demoralizing road crowds.

Wednesday night’s game between the Lakers and Mavs at the AAC was not “kinda cool.” It wasn’t even surreal. The whole thing is sad, embarrassing, infuriating, and it continues to be the avoidable disaster for the franchise. Luka’s Lakers won 112-97, as he went for a season-best 45 points, 8 rebounds, 6 assists and 4 steals.
